Project Update: Donations, reviews, and ratings!
Some great news to share:
During the campaign, we pledged to donate $1 per backer to nonprofits working in climate and environmental justice causes. We sent those donations late last year, and I wanted to share where it went!
- $5,000 to WE ACT: This organization works on behalf of communities of color and low income residents in NYC to keep them prioritized in environmental planning, policy, and decision making.
- $5,000 to BSSK: The Indian nonprofit BSSK (Baikunthapur Sishu Seva Kendra) focuses on rural people of in the Sundarbans, where its citizens are regularly affected by devastating storms, rainfall, floods, and drinking water contamination.
BSSK used the funds to support awareness and training of close to 300 participants on climate change impacts, hygiene, and sanitation. Here's a pic of one of the sessions:
What else? One of our favorite boardgame channels—No Pun Included—had a GREAT review of Daybreak:
And finally, we hope you've had a chance to play Daybreak! if you have, do you have a second to drop a rating on Boardgamegeek?

10s only. Just kidding. But really. Kidding! Do what your heart tells you.

I may have missed it, if so, apologies. However, I haven't seen any updates on the digital web version of the game, and since I'm back to web-based versions of other boardgames (and adulting is the cVnt it is in terms of gathering with friends) it just downed on me it'd be nice to give it a go online.
Project Update: Box damage survey
Now that nearly everyone has received their copy of Daybreak (woo! 🥳) we're going to make things right on the box issues that some folks had.
If your box was damaged, please fill out this survey:
https://forms.gle/Ngu58rM9Qbznzwcf8
You'll see that there are 4 options that you can choose:
- Get a replacement box mailed to you
- Get a 40% off discount code at cmyk.games
- Get a $15 refund
- Just note that you had an issue, but don't need anything
And please reply if you had *any* box issues, even if you're going to choose #4, just so we know the extent of the issue. And for any non-box replacement parts, email us at [email protected] instead.
Thanks!
Alex.

I bought this game, cause it seemed to be very fun and in the faq it says you dont know if there will be other languages. maybe if there will be high success in future. The game arrived a few days ago and... there is a german version out in retail since september? And its 25€ less the price than here... thats sad. really sad. I only know it from kickstarter directly that the guys there ALWAYS should get their copies even before retail starts to produce...

Hi there, Immediately upon opening Daybreak, I concluded for myself that the game needed a box insert. The card boxes the game came with would be too tight a finicky for the number of times I expected to play it, and the game was slow to set up and pack up. And, with the damaged caused to games by shipping, I concluded that the innards of the game needed some TLC and love. I was trained as an Industrial Designer so I whipped up a quick Box Insert prototype out of cardboard and masking tape and it's been working great so far for the 20 games or so I've played since Dec 20th. I wanted to make the design freely available for other backers to do DIY as I have done with cardboard. If there is interest, I could possibly make a printable cutting template or an STL to 3D print! The forums don't really have a capacity to add images. I've taken them and you can view it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BhMEkyFGMDabvhdYANo03tLSupbIGumK?usp=sharing

Hi. May I know if Daybreak shipped from Gamequest to Malaysia provide any tracking no? I have checked my email, spam, junk but never receive anything yet. Any backers from Malaysia got their game already?

Can someone tell me what the 5 Europe starting cards are? My copy of daybreak somehow only arrived with 4 of them, and with the 4 Europe start cards that I have being so wildly different from the other countries, I'm sure I can't just sub in a random project and have a proper game experience :(

Two days ago my copy arrived in Italy, I need to admit that I was quite surprised by the speed of the expedition and the fact that no fee was asked at the delivery. The game is in very good condition (just a small dent, acceptable), I am still disappointed by the lack of communication in certain moments of the last months, but I am happy of the game, the overall project was fairly quick by average backer projects standard, and I can't wait to try it with other players! (I've made a quick solo game, and I've managed to win at the last round!)

My copy arrived today and I‘m very disappointed by the packaging. The „shrink wrap alternative“ damaged my box on all four sides. I‘m not too serious about the condition of my game boxes, but the damaged cardboard is very visible. This leaves a very bad aftertaste I‘m afraid… Nonetheless thanks for delivering, I‘m still pretty excited to play Daybreak with my friends in the holidays.

Hello, I have received some hours ago a notification that the shipment is started for my package, at it starts from UK. Considering that it is now outside of EU, should we pay some custom fees on them? This is something that happens with all products from outside the Union (at least for Italy, but it should be a new union "law", right?) Can you in any way confirm this possibility to us? Also, in the future try to use some eu-based hub in Europe, it should reduce the risk for this to happen

I was wondering how many pulp storage was packed in the box. The rule book says 6 ,but I only got 4 pulp. Anyways, I'm also missing of a "change in major weather system" token (I've emailed [email protected] - hope they help).

Arrived last week and we played our first game last night (2 player). We thought we were close, got to drawdown but I neglected my communities and fell at the final hurdle. My partner, who isn't really a board game player, was happy that we were so close. I suspect had I not neglected the communities, we would not have been that close after all. I believe it is one of those games where there is no such thing as being close. You either succeed or fail, because every decision impacts so much. We loved it.
